Chapter 391 Tea Island Chronicle

Lu Jiayi wasn't angry when Shen Xuewei rejected her.

She put the invitation back into her bag and gave her a different one, clearly having prepared it beforehand.

"Okay, then please come to the wedding banquet. You should have the time, right?"

This time, Shen Xuewei didn't say she didn't have time and accepted the invitation.

"Okay, I'll definitely be there on time."

Lu Jiayi had already paid back the 300,000 yuan she owed to Shen Xuewei some time ago.

Shen Xuewei didn't ask where the money came from; as long as it was returned, that was fine.

After leaving the school, she had lunch with Chen Fangli and the others, saw them off at the airport, and then returned to her company.

Shi Qian told her a while ago that among the several projects she had recently come into contact with, she thought two of them were good and wanted to discuss them in more detail.

Of the two promising projects, Shen Xuewei ultimately decided to invest in only one.

It's not that we don't have a good view of the other one, it's just that the company doesn't have that much money, so we only invested in the Cha Yu Ji milk tea brand.

The founder of this milk tea brand started making a living in his teens.

He started by selling fruit from a tricycle on the roadside, and later transformed into a fruit buyer.

He married a woman who brought with her a large tea plantation, so he started a milk tea shop.

With the milk tea shop business picking up, he selected fresh, high-quality fruits and tea leaves as ingredients to create a new fruit tea series, which was very well received.

The positive feedback from the market gave him confidence, and he wanted to build up the Cha Yu Ji brand.

However, the prerequisite for building a brand is money.

With insufficient funds, the only option was to seek financing from others, which led to the submission of the information to Topway Venture Capital's email address.

After being reviewed round after round by the employees of Tuojie Venture Capital's investment department, he successfully appeared before Shen Xuewei.

Shen Xuewei was still torn between the two projects, but when the founder of Cha Yu Ji appeared at the company with his own handmade tea drinks, she tried several and finally decided on the project.

The taste is indeed quite good.

Moreover, the other party has a stable supply chain, strong product innovation and R&D capabilities, and a shrewd and intelligent founder.

As long as the brand positioning is clear at that time, continues to focus on product research and development, creates a unique brand story to strengthen brand marketing, and the company's operations are effective, there is great potential for success.

The moment she signed the contract, Shen Xuewei recalled the milk tea shop she had never had the chance to own in her past life…

She disappeared shortly after the bubble tea shop opened.

It's not just the bubble tea shop, but also her house, her car, her money...

Just thinking about it made Shen Xuewei feel a lump in her throat, and she was furious.

Although I don't have the time to open a milk tea shop now, investing in Cha Yu Ji is, in another sense, like reopening my old milk tea shop.

An investment of 16 million yuan resulted in a 30% stake in Cha Yu Ji.

Tuojie Venture Capital recently received a dividend from Wudao Interactive Entertainment, and the investment has already spent most of the dividend.

Considering that there was only about ten million yuan left in the company's account, Shi Qian and others will focus on small but excellent projects or projects from certain startups for the time being.

In June, Shen Xuewei successfully passed her graduation defense and soon received her graduation certificate.

She made a copy of the graduation certificate and burned one at each of her maternal grandparents' and maternal uncle's graves.

If they receive it in the afterlife, perhaps it will fulfill one of their wishes.

Three days after the graduation ceremony, it was Lu Jiayi's wedding day.

Shen Xuewei sat on the bride's side of the guest list and secretly glanced at the groom on the stage.

He looked to be around forty years old, of medium height, with a bulbous nose and a flat face.

When people are happy, they are in high spirits and their eyes are almost invisible when they laugh.

Even Jinian received an invitation from Lu Jiayi and came to her wedding with Shen Xuewei.

He frowned as he looked at Su Tiancheng on stage, who was twice as wide as Lu Jiayi, and whispered to Shen Xuewei:

"Weiwei, how did Jiayi end up with someone like this? This guy is totally oval-shaped, he looks so funny."

To be honest, seeing that Lu Jiayi had found someone like this, he felt a little sorry for Lu Jiayi.

At the same time, I also felt that Lu Jiayi was not to be judged by her appearance.

I initially thought he was a very positive and motivated person, but I never expected that in the end he would still succumb to the allure of money.

Shen Xuewei frowned. "Ji Nian, this is their wedding. Don't say things like that."

What does it matter to him what someone looks like, and why is he commenting on it in front of so many people?

At the same table were Lu Jiayi's classmates and friends.

As the bride's guests, they shouldn't be making comments about the groom on such an occasion.

When Lian Jinian heard Shen Xuewei say that, and then noticed someone looking over, he responded with a sound of agreement, then lowered his head to eat and remained silent.

The bride and groom toasted each other, gradually moving their toasts to this table.

Shen Xuewei raised her glass, clinked glasses with them, and softly offered her blessings, "Congratulations, wishing you a long and happy marriage, and a lifetime of love," before sitting down.

Lian Jinian followed her example and raised his glass to congratulate her.

Lu Jiayi's gaze lingered on his face for a moment longer than others, without anyone noticing.

After toasting Shen Xuewei and her table, Lu Jiayi took Su Tiancheng's arm and walked to the next table.

At the bridesmaids and groomsmen's table not far away, Huang Xin leaned back, looked at Shen Xuewei, raised her glass and winked at her.

Shen Xuewei also raised her glass in acknowledgment and took a small sip.

After leaving the hotel where the wedding was held, Lian Jinian asked Shen Xuewei if she could stay with him that night.

Shen Xuewei said apologetically, "Let's do it another day. Isn't your birthday in a couple of days? I've booked a private room at a restaurant. You can invite your friends and we'll celebrate together."

When Lian Jinian didn't have classes in the evening, he would stay overnight at Shen Xuewei's place.

The two had been dating for a year and had done everything that couples usually do.

If nothing's wrong, and Shen Xuewei is in a good mood and has time, she'll agree to his request.

She's currently busy and doesn't have time to spend with him.

Lian Jinian had gotten used to Shen Xuewei's busy schedule and was somewhat disappointed, but she also expressed her understanding. She simply asked casually:

"So where are you going tonight?"

Shen Xuewei walked to the side of the road and waved to flag down a car.

"My aunt asked me to go to Shenzhen to help her with some things. I should be back in the next day or two."

Chen Fanglan asked her to go to Shenzhen to accompany her to look at houses.

Three months ago, with the opening of the first Platinum Joy Skin Research Center in Shenzhen, Chen Fanglan had the idea of ​​buying property in Shenzhen.

She owns a house in Luli County and a house in Yizhou City, but she doesn't own a house anywhere else.

She actually prefers to settle down in the port city rather than Shenzhen.

However, houses in Hong Kong are incredibly expensive. After comparing them, she still felt that Shenzhen was a better option.

For such a big decision as buying a house, Chen Fanglan naturally had to ask Shen Xuewei to come along and accompany her to take a look.
